And I love folk.

Expand.

A bit off topic but fine, I'll try to give a musical progression, years of drug abuse means the story changes each time it passes through my lips or fingers but that's beside the point.

When I was a child, my dad was very much into Frank Zappa, still is, he liked King Crimson, Jethro Tull and Alice Cooper amongst others, I came to take the musical experiences as a child to expand upon it myself. When I was still 11ish I got into Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Metallica, my stepdad was into Pearl Jam and had Metallica's trinity. Anyways as I matured I kept these close to my heart but started to expand. I discovered Bob Dylan, and came to recognise that lyrics could be as good as the music, this a long with a rediscovery of the old prog classics, as well as expanding my prog taste continued.

Since then I have delved deeper into progs obscure and downright weird, and I've come to love the better things. My infatuation from Jazz came from King Crimson's Lizard album which very much blends jazz with prog rock and creates a beautiful harmony, this extended into me exploring the more straighforward jazz artists and other more obscure people. And my Auntie is a jazz singer.

Anyways as this went on I was reccomended black metal by a friend, at first put off by the harsh vocals I was drawn to the beautiful musical style that was represented by some of the better bands. Windir for example. Anyways as I further expanded into this I was reminded of Comus. It all should always come back to Comus, their album First Utterance is the main reason anyone should listen to music. It's beautiful, chaotic, haunting, moody and in one word: Possessed. So yeah, I've expanded.

Wheres the mod redirection when we need it?

The folk forum is dying and we're going to bump a thread made of Kerosene?

Veronica Lodge · 11-05-2008, 03:33 PM

Forgive me, that's my fault.

Back to Beatles v. Stones.

I have nothing more to say about it.

Comus · 11-05-2008, 03:36 PM

I'd just like to reiterate my greatness. And say that I prefer the stones.

Veronica Lodge · 11-05-2008, 03:39 PM

So who do you think would win in a fight then?

Jagger or McCartney?

(Ha, the thought of this makes me smile.)

Comus · 11-05-2008, 03:41 PM

McCartney of course, he's spent ages dealing with a one legged northern skank that he'll have no trouble with a re-animated corpse of a drug addled rock star.

I find it ironic because Jimi was ten times the guitarist Clapton could ever be and The Jimi Hendrix Experience was waaaaaay more influential than the shitpile that was Cream.

WHAT YOU ARE A ****ING IDIOT. Ok to start clapton made jimi faumus clapton and jimi were good friends you know the day b4 jimi died clapton baught him a lefty strat and was going to give it to him at a concert the next day.
